The only thing worse than this is the Nathan's / Arthur Treacher's opening up a few doors down where King Gyro closed up shop. Soon enough, we will have our very own food court here on 1st avenue. Sigh.

You just know the first CD for sale at the register will be Lana Del Rey's because, after all, she is the "gangsta Nancy Sinatra."

And speaking of things I'd like to see at the bottom of a well, I was watching Silence of The Lambs tonight and noticed a striking similarity between Lana's singing voice and Buffalo Bill's speaking voice.

I distinctly recall when I was but a youngin in the 80s, that teens were not allowed to buy coffee unless it was for their parents ( i remember being asked--is this for you or your parents), i even recall a city-wide movement to prevent young teens from buying it. they though caffeine was bad for kids back then. somehwere along the way that went away and now you see 12 year olds buying it.

By the way

Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

We love tips
